AVALOS P-TECH SCHOOL // P-TECH // Renewal // didelpilar@aldineisd.org The Avalos P-TECH business and industry memorandum of engagement (i.e., articulation agreement) aligns with the Blueprint Requirements by articulating the purpose of the partnership between the Industry/Business Partners, Aldine ISD, and Avalos P-TECH, outlining the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of the industry partner, while also describing how each partner’s expertise and level of engagement will best serve our school and scholars. Our agreement further defines terms of engagements and termination clause. As we enter in to Provisional Designation in 2020-2021, our goal is to work together with our Work-Based Learning Advisory Board to clearly define specific roles and responsibilities of our Business/Industry Partners: work site supervisors, for when students are at job sites; mentors, at Avalos and in the workplace; teachers, how best to support trans-disciplinary connections and co-teaching opportunities; and support personnel and other partners as students progress from career awareness to application and beyond. We feel it is crucial that every partner commits to a foundation of support that reinforces our ideals of college and career readiness, but that also bolsters sustainability through community engagement. The articulation agreement is reflective of our respect of their time and expertise, and allows for various stages of buy-in and levels of engagement. The agreement will evolve and be adapted annually to best meet the needs of our program as well as the Blueprint requirements. Describe how the Business/Industry articulation agreement addresses the following Business/Industry Blueprint Requirements: Support for students' activities, such a clubs, Career and Technical Student Organizations, competitions, and special invitations.

For example, Momentum Education, our mentoring program manager, provides individual support as part of Avalos Speech and Debate Club, including giving feedback during student practice sessions for Lincoln-Douglas debate and performance coaching and writing review for Poetry and Prose division. Workforce Solutions and BakerRipley provide volunteers to judge school district events for Texas Association of Future Educators, as well as lead sessions on various topics from financial literacy to developing skills that further support college and career readiness such as resume building, interview prep, and presentation. BakerRipley also provides opportunities for students to participate in STEM and Leadership Development clubs. Our annual mock interview circuit is supported by our partners from East Aldine Management District, Wellbore Integrity Solutions, Aldine ISD Human Resources, BakerRipley and Workforce Solutions. Additionally, our partners support our Open House events with informational workshops for parents and engaging workshops for students. Describe how the Business/Industry articulation agreement addresses the following Business/Industry Blueprint Requirements: Student access to business and industry partners and work-based learning facilities, services, and resources.

As students progress to their advanced courses in their respective programs of study, the partner will have additional opportunities to provide increased access to industry personnel, work-based learning experiences, facilities, services and resources. Describe how the Business/Industry articulation agreement addresses the following Business/Industry Blueprint Requirements: Transportation fees and costs. The Business/Industry articulation agreement states that partners will "Not be required to cover transportation costs and fees for students".

What steps did your academy take to address the need? Avalos P-TECH administration has identified the following positions as potential staffing challenges for the 2021-2022 school year with regards to finding a highly-qualified teacher that meets the basic requirements to teach dual-credit: CTE Teacher, Principles of Information Technology World History Teacher AP/Dual Credit CTE Teacher, Professional Communications We are working closely with our High School Area Superintendent and Aldine ISD Human Resource Department to develop a multi- directional plan to identify and recruit qualified candidates based on the Lone Star College (LSC) qualifications, which require these individuals to hold applicable Bachelors and Masters degree, and approved number of hours of study, and years of experience in the career field for the course of study. The plan includes early approval of the Avalos P-TECH positions for 2020-2021 and posting the positions immediately after they are board approved. Secondly, Avalos P-TECH leaders and faculty are sharing the information about the positions and qualifications with industry partners, district Career and Technology Education department directors, university departments aligned to our programs of study, and former colleagues that meet the dual credit criteria. We continually advocate for finding candidates that meet the individual needs of our career pathways, including possible exceptions that look at employment history and expertise in place of hours of study as part of a formal degree plan. Aldine ISD will host a teacher fair in March and transfer fair in April. We are confident that with this approach we will successfully find highly qualified and right-fit candidates for these positions. Is the academy a TSIA testing site?

improvement?
The Avalos P-TECH Instructional Leadership Team, Campus Improvement Plan Committee, Leadership
Committee, Design Team, and Work-Based Learning Advisory Board use the access, achievement, and
attainment data for program improvement in various ways. Each team begins with the end in mind,
anchoring data review to our program objectives and goals. Over the course of the year, each team,
according to the element of the P-TECH blueprint for which it is responsible, will meet to determine if
the objectives and goals were met. The teams review data and supporting documentation that show
the implementation of strategies, initiatives, and action plans laid out in the campus improvement plan.
Teams evaluate the fidelity and effectiveness of implementation of strategies, initiatives, and action
plans based on qualitative and quantitative data. The evaluation conclusions made by each team areAVALOS P-TECH SCHOOL // P-TECH // Renewal // didelpilar@aldineisd.org
used to set new objectives and revise existing ones. Strategies, action plans, and budgets are set to
support the objectives. Decisions are then made regarding the bell schedule, master schedule,
curriculum, student academic interventions, resources for college readiness, professional
development, recruitment strategies, industry/business partner engagement strategies, parent/family
engagement strategies, wrap-around services, and other needs that must be met based on the data.
All data and improvement plans are tracked on platforms that team members can access and is shared
with the Leadership and Design Teams and all other stake-holders as needed.
